Well that was unexpected...

So the History of Rome went to the ER on Friday complaining of abdominal pain and we wound up having our appendix removed about six hours later*. I'm doing fine and am resting comfortably, but unfortunately that means this week's episode has been cancelled. Shouldn't have any trouble getting back to work next week though, so I'll see you then.

C'est la vie,

Mike

*No word on whether my footnotes were also removed, but thanks for your concern Scott...

Was concerned something had happened to you when Monday's episode didnt arrive. can see now that you have had appendicitis. Do hope you are beginning to feel better. Dont rush to get back to the episodes, as much as we all want to hear the next one. Better to be fully fit.

I discovered your podcasts while recovering from my own emergency appendectomy. Hope that you find recording the History of Rome as helpful to your recovery as I found listening to it. But if you don't... don't push it. We can wait.

Let other people take care of you and eat cookies - you deserve it. Heck, you deserved THAT even before the appendix because of your podcast. Tell your relatives / friends to give you massages and bubblebaths...

I hope you feel better soon and please take some time to rest and recover fully before embarking on the next episode. We all love each episode and we appreciate the hard work you do putting them together. You have our heartfelt gratitude for this great podcast series and our thoughts go out to you.

That first move you took brought in the era of what was known as the laptop or pc trend that led to even more improvements, not only in the world of technological innovation but information and knowledge as well.
